Will Campbell emerges after a terrible Super Bowl showing.

New England Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell endured a historically terrible performance in Super Bowl LX. It was so far past bad that he decided not to even speak to reporters after the game.

When he was drafted, Campbell said he would die to protect Drake Maye. He certainly lived up to it as he got killed on almost every drive as Maye tried to run for his life. Campbell allowed a record 14 quarterback pressures in a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on February 8, 2026.

The rookie, who admitted to kicking a cat during media week, has finally had time to think to himself.

After almost 48 hours, Campbell is breaking his silence and revealing what was to blame for his performance.

Will Campbell was involved in a lot of highlights during the Super Bowl on Sunday. None of them was good. The left tackle played one of the worst games of the entire NFL season on the biggest stage.

During multiple instances, the Seahawks ran around Campbell and even right through him to get to Drake Maye. That included a bull rush that led to a fumble. Campbell raised eyebrows after he declined to take part in interviews following the team’s 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60.

The 22-year-old apologized for that decision Tuesday, saying he was dealing with a lot of emotions after the game. For Campbell, his struggles persisted throughout the postseason. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft performed like one of the worst tackles in the playoffs.

Turns out, there was a reason for that. Campbell revealed he tore a ligament in his knee at some point this season.

It’s unclear exactly when Campbell sustained the injury, though it could explain why the rookie saw his performance take a dive in the playoffs.

He had an up-and-down rookie season, missing four games due to an MCL injury. He injured the knee on November 23 and was carted off the field. After a disappointing end to an otherwise promising season, Campbell will look to come back better than ever next season.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
